Those Who Can, Do...

...those who can't (understand how to dial 999), teach:

...although a court heard police found an open bottle of wine in her car, the mother-of-three walked free with a suspended sentence after a judge accepted her defence that she had suffered an asthma attack and only got behind the wheel to find a hospital.

I'm no legal expert, but it seems to me that when a judge accepts at face value a story even the defence barrister has difficulty with ('Christopher Jeyes, defending, said Dean's account of only having a couple of drinks was clearly at odds with the evidence'), there's probably more to the case than meets the eye.
